Back to the Dreamtime : Relationship of Richard and Joe
The two main characters that I choose were Richard and Joe. Joe was the father to Richard. Richard was adopted by the McDonalds and lives together with his brother and sister and their names are Tom and Judy and his mother who called Sonya.

Richard was a teenage Aboriginal raise in white Australian society. Richard always get a dream about a spirit calling him and give him some scenes or direction to do something, but he can’t understand what the message trying to be carry out by the dream. Furthermore, Richard had scored a very good school grades and he wish to choose history as his study next year at university.

Joe was a very good father and householder because he takes a very good care to his family members. Joe liked holding family meetings because he believed they were a good way to get the family together and discuss things. As for examples, Joe had call for family meeting and tells the children about the tjurunga that they found in the attic.

Richard and his father Joe were having a good relationship, we can prove this by the situation that had been happened. Richard never made angry to his parent on hiding his father tjurunga from him for being so long. In turn, he worried to his parent because he felt his parent was felt responsible for the whole situation and shaken about this matter. Next, although Richard was trying to find his real father tjurunga and burial ground but Joe was never disagree with what Richard was planning to do.

    The relationship between Joe and his father was conveyed through precise details in the story, such as the isolated campsite “covered with pine trees and dotted with lakes”. This “nine thousand feet high” campsite was more than a vacation spot; it was a tradition - created by father and son, and bonded by time. It emphasized Joe relationship with his father as each summer, “ever since he was seven”, they came to this place.

    After reviewing the various theories of social scientists presented in this chapter, the theory I agree with the most, is Sigmund Freud’s as well as the Inuit. Sigmund Freud believes that dreams contain clues to thoughts dreamer’s are afraid to acknowledge in their waking hours. This being said, the Inuit believe that these dreams contain hidden messages and that people enter a spiritual world where they interact with people who have passed away. Basing this on personal experience, my aunt’s boyfriend of many years dreamt about his nephew Michael Menjivar after he was fatally shot in 2014. I knew Michael well, and my aunt’s boyfriend’s family always speak about Michael’s little sister Alicia, who claims she sees Michael in her dreams and…
